History Recap / SmilingFriendsS2E2MrPresident

* MortonsFork: The presidential race comes down to Jimble, who's already driving America into the ground with his utter stupidity, and Mr. Frog, who is a violent psychopath.

* DownerEnding: Mr. Frog wins the election, rendering Pim and Charlie's efforts moot. There's also the matter of the Oval Office now being occupied by a homicidal lunatic, which bodes poorly for America and most likely the entire world. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also The Boss plans to assassinate him]], which would no doubt lead to serious repercussions for everyone at Smiling Friends. The only real silver lining is Jimble being happy with his retirement.

** The general way President Jimble acts[[note]]his slovenly behaviour, inability to focus, tendency to screw up[[/note]] and talks[[note]]never staying on topic, speaking too fast on camera, and tendency to bring up "trolls"[[/note]] is very similar to [[Webcomic/{{Sonichu}} Chris-Chan]]. Chris-Chan was the first choice to voice Grease Puddle in "Who Violently Murdered Simon S. Salty?" but due to budget constraints and concerns over Chris-Chan's inability to keep a secret they were replaced by Harry Partridge

* InherentlyFunnyWords: President Jimble says he thinks debate, or "de-bate" as he says it, is a funny word. This is the last straw for Charlie, who leaves immediately afterwards.

* JerkassHasAPoint: The worm cabal have rigged the debate and the media against Mr. Frog, but it's still a fair question to ask why he's so evil.

** Besides the {{Trumplica}} elements below, President Jimble also embodies criticisms and critical accusations of Joe Biden: he's a former Vice President who was only coasting on his predecessor's goodwill, he's widely derided as being clueless and inept, he constantly makes verbal gaffes, he's undermined by his health issues, he's under fire for supporting a foreign leader widely condemned by the international community, and the only reason he even comes close to winning is because he's being propped up by people who want to see Mr. Frog lose by any means necessary.

** President Jimble is a FatSlob who wears ill-fitting suits, is utterly incompetent at running the country, and endorses a widely-condemned foreign dictator. He also promises everyone in the country free money leading up to the election (a reference to Trump's COVID-19 stimulus checks in 2020), which causes economic chaos. The emergency Presidential alert he uses to announce the aforementioned free money is also identical to the one Trump tested in 2018. In other aspects, though, he's inspired by Joe Biden (see above).
** Mr. Frog is a TV celebrity and political outsider-turned-dark horse candidate who's popular despite a long history of both saying and doing terrible things, as well as directly insulting his voter base. He's described as downright dangerous to the country if he wins, and there's a conspiracy to get him elected because they want him to cause chaos and destabilize the US.

* DownerEnding: Mr. Frog wins the election, rendering Pim and Charlie's efforts moot. There's also the matter of the Oval Office now being occupied by a homicidal lunatic, which likely bodes poorly for America and possibly the entire world. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also The Boss plans to commit terrorism under Glep's name]], which would no doubt lead to legal repercussions for the both of them. The only real silver lining is Jimble being happy with his retirement.

* InherentlyFunnyWords: {{Subverted}}. President Jimble says he thinks debate, or "de-bate" as he calls it, is a funny word. This is the last straw for Charlie, who leaves immediately afterwards.

* HeKnowsTooMuch: When Charlie stumbles upon the lair of the worms, they initially plan on buying him alive and eating him. But when Charlie reveals that Mr. Frog eats bugs, the worms opt to expel him outside the White House through a trap door instead.

** The worm conspiracy supporting Mr. Frog, then flipping and hastily supporting President Jimble, ordering the media to be massively biased in Jimble's favor, and Mr. Frog still narrowly winning the election anyway parallels the Democratic Party initially boosting Donald Trump in the 2016 Republican primaries in hopes that he'd be easier to beat, which ultimately led to him beating Hillary Clinton in the general election.

* DownerEnding: Mr. Frog wins the election, rendering Pim and Charlie's efforts moot. There's also the matter of Mr. Frog's presidency, which likely bodes poorly for America and possibly the entire world.

He's described as downright dangerous to the country if he wins, and there's a conspiracy to get him elected because they want him to cause chaos and destabilize the US. Despite the media being biased against him during the debates, he's able to narrowly win a hotly contested election.

* NoPartyGiven: Neither Mr. Frog or President Jimble ever have any political parties associated with their campaigns, with Jimble wearing a yellow tie ala [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Senator Armstrong]] for good measure.

* AllForNothing: Downplayed. By the end of the episode, the Smiling Friends have failed to actually make President Jimble smile. However, TheStinger reveals he is happy having retired from presidency.

* DownerEnding: Mr. Frog wins the election, meaning President Jimble didn't get to smile. This gives this episode the distinction of not having a proper Client Smile scene, although it's heavily implied that he does smile in the stinger. There's also the matter of Mr. Frog's presidency, which likely bodes poorly for America and possibly the entire world. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also The Boss plans to commit terrorism under Glep's name]], which would no doubt lead to legal repercussions for the both of them.

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: This episode reveals the Smiling Friends live somewhere in Pennsylvania.
